Based Camp - The Data： Just How Bad is School？ (Sending a Kid to Public School Has Become a Death Sentence)

00:00:00.000 oh no oh my gosh almost one in three young women not over the course of their adolescence

00:00:08.740 just in the last year had thought about unaliving themselves oh dear that is how bad the school

00:00:15.920 system is right now with young women 24 percent young women made a plan to kill themselves 0.63

00:00:24.560 this last year this last year again not over the course of their life this is critically bad at

00:00:32.800 this point this is we are in the drain cycle right now young women 13 young men 7 whoa one in 10 are

00:00:43.040 attempting to kill themselves every year whoa what if we are trading our children's childhoods

00:00:50.420 so that they can be played with in some sort of a weird marxist social experiment that has been 0.96

00:00:57.720 executed by a bunch of would you like to know more hello simone you and i have done episodes on how

00:01:05.660 bad the public school uh nightmare is right now i think a lot of people think it's just like a steady

00:01:11.040 degree difference from when we were kids uh is not we are going to be going into a lot of data a lot

00:01:17.480 statistics in this episode i know our fans love that when i was doing the research for this i was

00:01:21.460 like oh my god if i could make enough money to support myself off of our content and i could just

00:01:27.460 like really do research heavy episodes all the time i would be so happy like it is such a pleasure to get

00:01:35.340 to dive into statistics and see what is being hidden from the general public at this point so what i'm

00:01:42.540 going to start with is just like how bad things are because not even in terms of outcomes but a lot

00:01:48.440 of people they look at how we're raising our kids and they're like the things you're doing with your

00:01:53.240 kids are going to make them unhappy why don't you just do what everyone else does or taking them out of

00:01:58.540 public school oh my god they'll all these like horrible fear tactics and it really has become fear

00:02:05.420 tactics an article ran in scientific america recently that showed that 37 percent of homeschoolers

00:02:13.640 it was like homeschooling is tied to abuse 37 percent of homeschoolers uh abused their kids and

00:02:20.660 we know this because cps was called on 37 percent of families they didn't think to check the base rate

00:02:25.120 it turns out that actually out of all families 37 percent have had cps called on them so i think that

00:02:31.040 actually means that homeschoolers have generally lower rates of actual abuse because think about it

00:02:35.300 this way homeschooling families have larger numbers of children so if one child causes some

00:02:42.320 kind of warning that has cps called they're much more likely to they're like every child will be seen

00:02:48.780 as being like plausibly subject to abuse also i've just noticed that larger families are more likely to

00:02:55.280 have people be very judgmental of the way that they raise their kids so i feel like they're way more

00:03:00.040 subject to scrutiny and i think a lot of people just think that having more than two kids is abusive

00:03:08.460 just like the parents attention would be divided that much is yeah without doing anything else even

00:03:17.080 if they did everything absolutely right they were still terrible parents so i would say it's impressive

00:03:21.940 that it's not a higher rate no no i what i think when you're talking about this 37 percent number i think

00:03:26.700 it shows just how oppressive the urban monoculture is in trying to take people's kids and that it's

00:03:30.840 becoming more and more so over time yeah 30 yeah but just on its own that number is sobering 37

00:03:36.160 holy smokes but like in terms of the kids aren't all right so i'm going to read to you some statistics

00:03:42.540 by the cdc so actually i'll play a little game i'll have you try to guess what the numbers are before

00:03:48.740 we get to them because and i'll even prime you by saying that i think the numbers are going to shock you

00:03:52.920 on a survey of experiencing and the survey ends in 2021 experience persistent feelings of sadness

00:03:59.800 or hopelessness during the past year in the united states and we're looking at young men and women

00:04:05.120 what what would you expect are they above or below the age of adolescence this is adolescence adolescence

00:04:11.540 45 percent the fact just actually is about the average so with women it's 57 percent these days 1.00

00:04:18.660 and 29 percent with men so like they are generally unhappy with their lives more than half of young

00:04:24.900 women and you can look at all the quote-unquote progress that feminism has made for them and yet 1.00

00:04:29.620 this number just keeps rising all right but here is i think what's really going to shock you and keep

00:04:35.080 in mind we're separating young men and women when you're making guesses okay seriously considered

00:04:39.520 attempting suicide during the past year not in their life during the past year young men 14 young

00:04:48.160 women 18 you got young men exactly right 14 young women it's 30 oh no oh my gosh almost one in three

00:05:00.880 young women not over the course of their adolescence just in the last year has thought about unaliving

00:05:08.500 themselves oh dear that is how bad the school system is right now you are sending your kids

00:05:14.440 to a meat grinder but let's get worse made a and i'll use a different word so we don't get banned

00:05:21.680 here unaliving themselves plan during the past year oh made a plan okay um it's got to be fairly low

00:05:28.580 with guys because i feel like they're more likely to follow through and they were at higher rates

00:05:33.320 followed through successfully on these four percent of young men and because women are more likely to

00:05:39.260 make plans and fantasize i'm going to say 12 percent with young men it was 12 percent with young women

00:05:44.900 24 percent oh my man plan young women i plan to kill themselves this last year this last year again 1.00

00:05:55.740 not over the course of their life this is critically bad at this point this is we are in 0.96

00:06:03.260 the drain cycle right now the drain cycle now i actually went through as a plan sorry attempted

00:06:11.640 unaliving themselves in the last year young women 13 young men seven percent whoa one in 10 are

00:06:18.040 attempting to kill themselves every year whoa and i'll also put on screen here we're injured in a

00:06:28.240 unaliving attempt in the past year by demographic breakdowns oh yeah what percentage there i'm very

00:06:34.220 curious because i feel like a lot of it's also i want i wish we could parse out better performative

00:06:39.860 and you know what i mean though there there is a social contagion element there's a glamour element

00:06:46.640 to this i feel unfortunately it's really clear in the data to me the closer a group is to the urban

00:06:52.340 monoculture the higher the rate is yeah how much was i feel like injuries assigned that someone

00:06:58.200 actually meant to do it okay so injured in an attempt for young women it was four percent for

00:07:03.940 young men it was two percent total average is three percent but it gets really high in some groups and

00:07:08.860 it's determinate on how close you are to the urban monoculture so if you look at groups that are very

00:07:13.440 low probability of doing this you're looking at groups like the asian community or the american indian

00:07:18.320 or alaska native communities when their group is actually less than one percent if you look at

00:07:23.200 groups that do it very high did you have sexual contact with somebody of the same sex 14 14 of people 0.51

00:07:31.440 who are sexually active and gay and i think that this shows how mentally destructive the groups that 0.92

00:07:39.480 have invaded these communities are right and it is to me horrifying what we're seeing here and it really

00:07:45.420 pairs was our idea that and i don't know if the episode on this is going to go live before or after

00:07:50.060 this that in some way a trans identity can be thought of as an alternative to unaliving oneself

00:07:57.660 because it's like it a chance to start over with a new identity um yeah that also might explain the rise

00:08:05.740 of that given that 14 every year are injured from one of these attempts every year are injured by one of

00:08:12.800 these attempts the urban monoculture is maelstrom that rips apart your soul it is bad to an extent

00:08:20.880 that i feel that we often underplay in in in this podcast or maybe don't properly elevate if you want

00:08:29.020 to talk about like more stuff here nearly 60 percent of female students and nearly 70 percent of lgbtq

00:08:36.000 students experienced persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness and if you look at 70 percent of

00:08:42.800 the lgbtq community in school today and if you as a cultural solution to same-sex attractedness i i think

00:08:51.520 it is pretty unarguable to to point out that the gay community of today has many more protections than the

00:09:00.000 gay community did when we were growing up and yet the levels of sadness the community has had have 0.98

00:09:06.080 risen dramatically between this period so this isn't because they're a discriminated group because

00:09:11.360 there's been going up as the discrimination has been going down yeah um and if if somebody's actually

00:09:18.000 discrimination for the community has been growing up why don't we be like okay you just live in an

00:09:21.840 alternate dimension but two if you believe that then clearly whatever the community is doing in terms

00:09:26.640 of advocacy is not working it's making it worse yeah it's making it worse so you shouldn't be doing

00:09:31.760 the same type of advocacy that you guys are doing right now and then they're like i don't want to

00:09:35.360 change any of that but i'm like okay then let's walk things back a bit here and say that things are

00:09:40.000 getting better for the community and yet the community's mental state is getting worse so what

00:09:43.840 is changing it's the dominance of these new mental frameworks entering the community specifically

00:09:49.600 trauma psychology and we're going to go into another study in a different one here that went into

00:09:55.440 how uh modern psychological practices when given to uh completely mentally healthy students actually

00:10:02.160 decreased outcomes for those students and broke those students relationships with their parents

00:10:06.880 because it is literally developed into cult-like tactics but if you're talking about attempted

00:10:11.760 suicide 10 of female students 20 of lgbt students if you're talking about now let's just go over some

00:10:17.360 other statistics here experience persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness and this was a rising

00:10:23.200 trend so it's almost likely much worse now in 2021 it was 42 experienced poor mental health 29

00:10:30.080 seriously considered attempting unaliving oneself 22 uh made an unaliving plan 18 attempted unaliving 10

00:10:39.040 and yeah it's just and they do note in the statistics that there were differences among ethnic groups but

00:10:44.880 the differences really weren't that big among ethnic groups i was just being ultra low in the

00:10:50.000 asian community it's just that the the one in 10 attempted number like absolutely gets me the one in 0.68

00:10:56.800 five 22 percent seriously considered it absolutely gets me and it's saying a lot if modern world culture

00:11:03.920 has a larger unaliving thinking about rate than japan and south korea are famous for this being a problem

00:11:11.200 among people and yet now in american american yeah but that asian immigrant cultures here are lower 1.00

00:11:19.280 just in general i don't know i think it shows that the strict like the ideal parenting style which

00:11:26.080 really fits was what we said historically i think the raven the rates are so high in countries like

00:11:31.360 korea and japan is because you have a very strict institutional structure and moderately strict parents

00:11:38.480 whereas in the united states you have strict parents but loose institutions and as we always say

00:11:45.040 cultures work much better when you allow the culture to enforce the restricted rules rather than trying

00:11:51.520 to enforce it through a governmental system and that's what we're seeing here i think in these

00:11:56.640 very low rates among asians in the united states and keep in mind the government should realize that this

00:12:03.120 is a problem so the u.s surge in general has identified mental health challenges as the

00:12:07.600 leading cause of disability and poor life outcomes in young people and i'll put up the warning here

00:12:13.680 and yeah it's just the the state that they're in is absolutely horrifying now and i think that's

00:12:20.400 something we need to remember with school right a lot of people are like well i'm sending my kids to school

00:12:25.520 because that's the default and no schools have a cost we trade our children's childhoods

00:12:31.680 in exchange for the promise that they will be given the ability to participate in the modern economy

00:12:36.960 but what if schools aren't doing that what if we're trading their childhood to put them with a

00:12:42.880 group that is not intentionally i think but basically systematically abusing children putting

00:12:50.800 them in these states because what else can you say about a group that's having these sorts of numbers

00:12:55.280 i can't say anything other than they are in an institutional abuse factory and if anyone

00:13:01.040 looked at this in isolation if if this were some form of plastic or food or pollution to which

00:13:08.080 people's children were being exposed they would be in a huge uproar there would be legislation to

00:13:14.960 immediately ban this material or pollutant right if if this were anything but essentially modern culture

00:13:23.200 and education and educational systems which obviously are much harder to address or change or deal with

00:13:30.320 people would be up in arms and of course many people already are up in arms i i think that we need a

00:13:36.160 completely new school model and people are like what about negative and we're working on that so

00:13:40.000 people are like why hasn't the collins institute gone live yet it's actually fully functional at this

00:13:43.520 point we're ready to begin on this is our alternate to the school system begin onboarding people but we

00:13:49.520 want it really polished when the first group comes in and so right now we're doing things like changing the skill

00:13:56.000 level tied to various questions that a student engages with adding a tutoring system various

00:14:01.760 things like this but the core product is really impressive and i quite like using it myself even

00:14:06.080 it's largely my fault i keep saying well it needs to be a little bit better so that yeah it's my fault

00:14:12.320 and it's also the fault that we actually have a day job and we're not paying ourselves to do any of

00:14:16.720 this because that's not how we work yeah but i think increasingly what we're going to see

00:14:21.680 is one you've got to remember the hold that teachers unions have on democratic politics 0.88

00:14:26.560 they basically cannot go against the teachers unions they cannot admit that this is a real problem

00:14:30.480 but if you look at spending because people are like you're not spending enough and i'll put on

00:14:34.320 screen a chart here that shows the amount that we're giving to schools is increasing but all of

00:14:38.880 the additional money is going to overhead staff not like the actual teachers and that's what happens

00:14:44.320 bureaucratic capture and bureaucratic bloat we need to wipe out that entire class and you can't do that 0.97

00:14:49.200 because that's the class that is most bought into the teachers unions which basically have the entire

00:14:53.360 democratic party in their pocket and then you have the second problem which is the core way that the

00:14:58.720 urban monoculture makes new members of the urban monoculture is through control over children's

00:15:03.600 media and the school system and so as more and more parents wake up and we're about to get into

00:15:09.760 statistics about this about how bad the school system is they have to be more aggressive about

00:15:14.320 forcing parents to send kids to a system that's clearly not in their best interest

00:15:18.080 and you get extreme cases in germany where things like homeschooling are banned but you are beginning

00:15:22.560 to see in the more progressive states more and more restrictions put on homeschooling and even

00:15:28.080 in some areas like manhattan like the most urban monoculture places talk of banning private schools

00:15:33.280 and institutions like that which is truly insane for me it's like what if we are trading our children's

00:15:38.960 childhoods so that they can be played with in some sort of a weird marxist social experiment that has been 1.00

00:15:47.920 executed by a bunch of executives and i think that's why progressives are so anti-organizations

00:15:53.760 like libs of tiktok because a lot of what libs of tiktok is showing is teachers and so we are

00:15:58.400 seeing that yeah the worst of the urban monoculture really has infected the school system and that's

00:16:03.040 what's causing this hey y'all this is your daily reminder that dr seuss is racist and you shouldn't

00:16:07.680 use him in your classroom i get that some of these books are considered classics i mean i grew up on them

00:16:12.000 myself i also get that he was a product of his time but also mind you this is 2021 there are

00:16:17.920 literally so many other books are more inclusive to all students that you can use instead i've heard

00:16:23.360 a lot of people say that gender is complex and sex is simple as a biology teacher i highly disagree

00:16:30.800 gender is really easy gender is how someone identifies so just listen to them when they

00:16:35.120 tell you if they're male female or non-binary this has been my first year in preschool with

00:16:43.280 a class of my own teaching alongside another queer neurodivergent educator and we have been

00:16:49.120 rocking r2's class we've been talking about gender and skin color and consent and empathy and our bodies

00:16:56.720 and autonomy it's been fabulous but our teaching team is shifting and a new person is being onboarded

00:17:02.080 someone with many years of experience so today at the lunch table when the topic of gender and

00:17:09.040 genitals came up one of our students plainly looked up and said well i'm a girl today but i know that

00:17:15.920 teacher ko isn't no they're envy and the look on the incoming teacher's face was priceless she was shocked

00:17:26.480 in a good way and she just looked around at the two of us and said this class is incredible and

00:17:31.680 i am so impressed

00:17:37.120 let me say it again for those in the back row

00:17:44.160 crt is not being taught below law school those of you that are against it are being misled by the

00:17:52.320 media about what crt and where and when it is taught my governor has put into place some

00:17:59.760 ridiculous legislation that many governors across the country put into place such as i can't teach

00:18:05.680 critical race theory so teachers in the past we've been activists after this show of last year

00:18:13.840 we really need to stand up and do what's right for our kids right now so this is a call to action teachers

00:18:19.600 we got to stand up and fight for our kids because this is bull do your students call you by your

00:18:23.600 first name or mr or miss great question this is actually a classic question here's your answer

00:18:28.480 currently my students just call me desmond or desi first name however i have been at schools that go

00:18:33.200 by last name those schools i go by teacher fambrini i am gender fluid so i don't go by mr or miss i go

00:18:39.120 by teacher because i am a teacher so desmond desi or teacher fambrini i'm starting to get a little

00:18:44.800 emotional looking at the new masks i got for a couple reasons i've had american flags put up in

00:18:52.080 every classroom we're gonna have to say the pledge of allegiance and i'm not gonna be able to talk

00:18:57.760 about basically any of the things that i have on these masks hey y'all let me introduce you to our

00:19:04.640 non-binary alpaca the kids voted on a gender-neutral name alex for them alex was there to help me

00:19:10.800 during the really quiet moments when nobody would talk during virtual learning yes they were so quiet

00:19:16.320 but then i also took it as an opportunity to teach my students about how to respect people's pronouns

00:19:20.800 did alex ever get misgendered yes but then it opened up some teachable moments about what to do when that

00:19:26.320 would happen for example hey mr voong did he just wake up from his nap oh do you mean did they wake up

00:19:31.360 from their nap yeah they just did i would apologize quickly make the correction and move on i started

00:19:36.320 off modeling how to correct somebody and then afterwards my students would correct each other

00:19:40.160 whenever somebody would misgender alex here representation in the classroom matters my kids

00:19:44.880 were fifth graders and they still got a kick out of alex oh yes and here's alex's friend lincoln

00:19:49.440 the llama who goes by pronouns he him at first my students thought that he had very feminine features

00:19:53.920 so they thought that he was a girl and this is why we should never assume somebody's gender just

00:19:57.760 based on what they look like all right lincoln say something hello my students were really surprised

00:20:02.000 how low his voice sounded don't assume clear from the data that the closer a kid is to this type of

00:20:07.440 language and to these types of ideas the more likely they are to unalive themselves these people

00:20:15.360 are killing kids at astronomical numbers this needs to be stopped we need to understand that what

00:20:26.720 these people are pushing is bigotry and it is not helping the same-sex attracted community it is not even 0.98

00:20:36.400 helping people who are actually transgender this is some sort of weird bizarre sex pest marxist cult 1.00

00:20:46.240 that is taking over our school system and it is disproportionately hurting the kids who are 0.52

00:20:52.400 actually same-sex attracted for example as we can see in the data this stuff needs to be fought tooth and

00:21:02.080 nail i love it they're like no no no no no actually you see when um we teach kids to hate their identities

00:21:11.120 and their countries and their uh history um it saves their lives affirming affirming language affirming practices

00:21:20.400 save lives and it's like okay well then why why is it that the people who buy into this the most

00:21:27.440 are the ones unaliving themselves at astronomical rates why is it that as this language penetrates

00:21:33.040 our school system more this problem gets worse you should see an inverse correlation if you were right

00:21:39.840 about this are you open are you even open to the possibility that your group is wrong and i don't think

00:21:46.880 you are because it's a religion for you this is moved past the point of data and you don't care

00:21:51.760 how many children you have to sacrifice so that you can feel like you were the good guy

00:21:58.320 it's sickening so what are people doing in response so now i'm going to put a graph on screen

00:22:03.920 actually did you have any more thoughts on before we go further

00:22:07.920 an argument that i hear from people because i was just listening to someone's

00:22:11.280 youtube essay on alt-right parents and how they're against the schooling system a very common argument

00:22:18.720 that is presented is oh people are just presenting really extreme cases and this is not how it works

00:22:23.840 for everything but there is just such a preponderance of cases of people doing egregious things there's

00:22:30.720 actual there are actual rules in some cases there's actual legislation that is pretty egregious if you just

00:22:37.200 look at it at what it is and then these stats i don't think can really be denied coming from the

00:22:42.720 cdc this is not like this is not right wing conspiracy yeah some some right wing mommy blog

00:22:47.840 that did a twitter poll this is much more rigorous than that and people will be like oh these are the

00:22:52.800 effects of covid but if you look at the statistics they've been going up at a steady rate for a long

00:22:56.960 period of time before this so no it's not just covid it was going up for a long period of time now

00:23:02.240 let's talk about homeschooling the alternative so i'm going to put a graph on screen here right now

00:23:09.360 and what you're going to see in this graph is from the washington post is a lot of people thought that

00:23:14.000 during covid a lot of people just took out their kids and then it was fine after that but that's

00:23:18.960 actually not what happened uh a bunch of people took off their kids this graph is titled homeschooling

00:23:23.520 rise from fringe to fastest growing form of education basically what in this graph is it shoots up

00:23:29.680 during the pandemic but then it barely goes down after the pandemic and it's the same as private

00:23:34.320 school shoots up isn't going down after the pandemic whereas the number of kids in school is actually

00:23:39.440 continuing to drop after the pandemic which is just shocking to me um but uh this is and and we have

00:23:46.880 simone's sister is like an assistant superintendent at a school district and she was talking about one

00:23:52.720 really scary thing is how quickly the their class sizes are dropping so they're now dealing with the

00:23:57.600 problem of demographic collapse combined with everybody taking their kids out and she's a year

00:24:04.080 over year it's 60 kids less this is not like a giant school she was just like in this one school system

00:24:09.600 she's like there are whole classes that aren't happening anymore i think what was it she said

00:24:14.000 it was like the size of two classrooms that no that i said that that's okay you said it's the size

00:24:19.040 of two classrooms disappearing but that's shocking that we're seeing this but hold on i'm going to

00:24:23.200 continue to go through here i'm going to quote something here what surprises me is how much the

00:24:27.520 additional homeschooling has stuck so far i would have expected the huge peak in 2020 2022 to roughly

00:24:34.000 this level with the pandemic making schools a different level of dystopian nightmare than usual

00:24:38.960 than most people throwing in the towel that was what we did instead it looks like 80 of the increase

00:24:45.200 stuck around from 2022 to 2023 it seems this was a case there being a lot of startup costs and network

00:24:52.240 effects once you learn how to homeschool and you try it most people decided to keep going and the

00:24:57.440 change was sustainable and i think that's really important this graph is titled homeschooling's rise

00:25:01.840 from fringe to fastest growing form of education basically what in this graph is it shoots up during

00:25:07.920 the pandemic but then it barely goes down after the pandemic and it's the same as private school

00:25:12.640 shoots up isn't going down after the pandemic whereas the number of kids in homeschool is actually

00:25:17.600 continuing to drop after the pandemic which is just shocking to me so let's continue to go on with

00:25:24.480 other things that are happening the nihilism explosion okay so here we're looking at pessimism

00:25:30.720 among us 12th graders specifically at questions hard to have hope for the world and wonders if there is a

00:25:38.000 purpose to life given the world situation and within gen z it's just really high 34 wondering if there is

00:25:44.480 purpose to life given the world situation and then around 40 for hard to have hope for the world

00:25:51.120 and i think that this is because the structures of information that they are gaining access to have

00:25:58.000 one been co-opted by these apocalyptic ai cults even though ai is opening up all of these great

00:26:03.680 opportunities it's changing what it means to be human it's making it fundamentally possible to maybe

00:26:09.440 live in an economic system where we can all pursue our dreams whenever we want like genuinely a post

00:26:15.520 scarcity environment and yet they're here freaking out because apocalypticism grabs you when you're

00:26:21.600 already nihilistic people have begun to lose their hopes and forget their dreams so that nothing grows stronger

00:26:32.720 it's the emptiness that's left it is like a despair destroying this world and i have been trying to help it

00:26:41.520 but why because people who have no hopes are easy to control because i think that another thing that the urban

00:26:53.760 monoculture has realized is that one of the best ways to grab people if you're in like a detention center and they

00:26:59.840 need to brainwash you you're going to any of these if you read stories about brainwashing one way to do it is to

00:27:05.520 completely demoralize an individual and i think that the urban monoculture has learned this when it works

00:27:11.360 to demoralize young people when it works to ensure that they have no pride in their ethnic or national

00:27:18.640 or religious identity it can break them down and when they can teach them the future has no hope and then

00:27:24.560 it can siphon them out into this completely parasitic and toxic culture and get them to spend all of their

00:27:29.440 time like partying and being indulgent i remember when i said like this whole miri thing is just a

00:27:34.960 larp at this point like it's not serious and then we learned recently that even eliezer yukowski

00:27:41.120 he we never posted our ea episode because i thought it was too hard on eliezer and i was like i don't

00:27:45.120 want to be like that negative in one of our episodes we might post it if people really asked for it or post

00:27:49.440 it somewhere private but he ended up basically shutting down most of what miri was doing shutting

00:27:55.920 down their research department and then just effing off with his girlfriend basically and so did the

00:28:02.160 the other founder and to party right take the money go out and party and they used a little bit to

00:28:06.960 continue with the outreach which i think was probably the right thing to do because they weren't achieving

00:28:11.600 that much with the research but that was like the only real work they were doing and i think it shows

00:28:15.760 that once you reach this level of nihilism and i guess i call it fear rot even the individuals who

00:28:21.680 are purveying these messages even the preachers of it can't do anything but descend into lives of total

00:28:27.760 hedonism do you have any thoughts here before i go further i feel like the consequences of all

00:28:32.960 these things speak for themselves i mean you look at like our projects like our tracked project and

00:28:39.520 trying to help with our school system people stay within their religious systems 0.99

00:28:43.120 and people are like what's really like the core end goal of all this the core end goal of

00:28:48.160 pernatalism more broadly and it's vitalism it's being human flourishing yeah human flourishing

00:28:54.080 genuine in this system in this modern school system and in our modern culture humans are not

00:28:59.920 flourishing and i think that i don't you can't not even argue that people in progressive cultures

00:29:06.720 would say that people are flourishing they would just point to i don't know capitalism or rich people

00:29:16.560 or systemic bias or something else and say that's why everyone's suffering so much

00:29:21.760 yeah because the calls coming from within the house yeah the calls coming from within the house

00:29:26.480 they're using these scapegoats and you can look at the statistics it's not just my perception that

00:29:30.880 the more progressive someone is the more mental health problems they have the more likely they are

00:29:34.960 to have attempted on aliving themselves the more like it's clear and i'll put some stats on the screen

00:29:39.040 here and it appears that when you get to the most extreme iterations of this culture you are

00:29:44.080 completely sacrificing and this is actually something i've seen was our for example like lgbt friends gay 0.87

00:29:50.480 friends like we have some gay friends who are like republican and have kids and they are completely

00:29:56.800 mentally healthy they're often rowing they're also like really fit everything like that then when i

00:30:01.280 think about like my progressive bt friends they're typically in like terrible health they don't have

00:30:07.040 long-term relationships they're seeing a psychologist every single week they are just barely holding it

00:30:12.720 together on a cocktail of drugs like it doesn't work and it's hurting those communities the most but let's

00:30:19.200 continue here because actually we've had some of our younger users here who are like i'm in school

00:30:23.600 right now and what i see is the lgbt community being treated like a priest cast almost and like

00:30:29.200 they can get caught selling drugs and they don't have to deal with the consequences because they're

00:30:32.560 for example gay right like they they are treated as a different caste system within the school today

00:30:38.640 and i'm like even if that's the case they are still dealing with more mental hardship in so far 0.77

00:30:43.920 it's a buy-in to the urban monoculture and then the ones who stand against the urban monoculture the gay 0.99

00:30:48.560 young people who stand against the urban monoculture they have their identity stripped

00:30:52.240 from them people say you're not really gay and they get bullied by the urban monoculture relentlessly

00:30:58.480 as you can see from any of these conservative gay influencers online who just get harassed more than

00:31:03.520 anyone else but it gets worse now we're going to talk about like where urban monoculture ideas

00:31:08.480 are just destroying a generation at this point right because in a lot of these statistics you're like oh

00:31:13.200 i guess guys are getting off easy and in a way they are because girls are getting coddled and not 0.97

00:31:17.520 having to deal with discipline and that leads to i think a lot of these downside negative effects

00:31:21.440 but i'm going to read a reddit post here by a teacher in the our teacher subreddit they got a

00:31:26.160 ton of upvotes so this is something that other teachers feel is a problem hmm is anyone else here

00:31:31.600 seeing the girls crushing the boys right now in literally everything we just had our first student 0.95

00:31:37.280 council meeting in order to become a part you had to submit a one to two paragraph explanation for

00:31:41.840 why you wanted to join the council handles tech club garden club art club etc the kids are 11 to

00:31:48.160 12 years old there were 46 girls and five boys among the five boys two were very much quote unquote

00:31:55.120 besties with a group of girls so in a stereotypical description since there was three non-girl connected

00:32:02.400 boys my heart broke to see it a bit the boy representation has been falling year over year and we are

00:32:08.320 talking by grade five and keep in mind if you're like i'll just start with my kids in school and

00:32:13.840 this is something we need to be aware of simone this is happening by grade five destroyed your young

00:32:18.880 boys am i just and then your young girls are going to end up on aliving themselves by the statistics so

00:32:23.840 just to be aware am i just a coincidence case in this data point is anyone else seeing the girls

00:32:29.600 absolutely demolish the boys right now is this a problem we need to be addressing this also shouldn't

00:32:34.160 be a debate about people over 18 i'm literally talking about children who grew up in modern title

00:32:39.440 nine society was working and educated mothers the boys are straight up peter panning right now it's

00:32:45.360 like they are becoming lost and just so people know this is around 8 000 upvotes in the teachers subreddit

00:32:51.520 and a 4.7 000 comments so this is absolutely something we're seeing and this is something that other

00:32:58.560 people are uh recognizing and the answer to me is that all of these like progressive intersectionality

00:33:07.680 is what's leading to this uh very obviously but i think what's also telling here and i want to

00:33:13.440 emphasize a point that you made a little bit earlier which is that just because you're advantaged

00:33:18.640 in the school system and you may be doing better within it for a period of time doesn't mean that you

00:33:24.720 are ultimately experiencing better real world outcomes keep in mind when it came to those

00:33:28.400 mental health stats that you rattled off girls were performing worse they had higher rates of ideation 0.82

00:33:35.520 that was deadly higher rates of mental health problems so really winning within this system 0.96

00:33:41.760 means you're losing at life and honestly if this system makes life hard for you all the better that

00:33:46.480 you're actually facing some genuine challenges and and building some resilience being forced to do that

00:33:51.600 because being robbed of that experience is causing a lot of this lack of this mental health being in

00:33:58.800 this system the more coddled a group is by the urban monoculture the higher their demographic status

00:34:04.640 is within the urban monoculture yeah the lower their mental health outcomes are yeah so this coddling

00:34:10.640 that girls are seeing that is leading to them showing up to these groups in higher numbers leading to them

00:34:14.480 getting into college at higher rates leading to all of these systemic discriminations in their favor

00:34:19.920 is leading to worse mental health outcomes and you even see this among ethnic lines so for example the

00:34:25.840 black community had a higher unaliving themselves rate than the white community in schools right now

00:34:30.720 and it is because these groups not by a huge actually with that group it was like double it wasn't as bad as

00:34:37.120 like girls and guys it was like a four percent to two percent or something for attempted not attempted an

00:34:42.640 injury from an attempt but yeah it's it's it shows that what they are doing isn't working and yet they

00:34:49.360 look at these statistics they look at for example girls facing these larger mental health outcomes

00:34:54.640 and they have the urban monoculture has no solution to this other than we need to i.e. progressivism more broadly

00:35:02.720 we need to increase the special status we're giving these groups we need to increase the ways that they

00:35:09.360 are being coddled in our sort of urban monoculture lens which is leading to progressively worse outcomes

00:35:15.440 and here i'm going to talk about some more progressively worse outcomes that we're seeing here

00:35:19.120 major depression among teens we have seen since 2010 if you're looking at 2020 a 145 increase in girls

00:35:26.880 and in boys here in the increase you actually higher but the absolute number is lower

00:35:30.720 161 in percent increase among boys in anxiety you can see the stats just shooting up among college

00:35:37.680 students so in anxiety it's now in 25 college students 135 increase since 2010 and depression

00:35:45.840 has been a 106 increase since 2010 this isn't working the way our culture has changed since 2010

00:35:53.280 is not working and it's i think it's you have to most people who are adults now and listening to this

00:36:00.160 have to understand how profoundly different the school system must be if these outcomes are so different

00:36:05.360 one how different childhood must be and also we have to remember you and i grew up in a time when

00:36:10.080 at least when we were in middle school or primary school you like could not use the internet to look

00:36:15.600 up answers to questions because then we did have internet access but like literally the answers weren't there

00:36:21.120 you would have to go to a library or refer to an encyclopedia or a dictionary you could not look

00:36:26.960 these things up like life is so profoundly different for these people and i think a lot of people are

00:36:32.480 when trying to model solutions or trying to diagnose the problem not understanding how fundamentally foreign

00:36:39.280 life is to to us as a young person you mean to the young generation not us as young it's their

00:36:46.320 experience is foreign to us yeah foreign to us yeah but we are not young people yeah just clear

00:36:51.200 no yes we're not young we are very old you are absolutely correct about this and here i all of

00:36:56.800 this would be worth it if while all of these negative effects were increasing we were getting

00:37:01.520 increased output from the school system like it was a doing better except the exact opposite is

00:37:08.160 happening only 21 of us high schoolers are well prepared for college 2023 act data revealed

00:37:14.560 a concerning lack of college preparedness among recent high school graduates out of the class

00:37:19.040 of 2023 only 21 met only 21 met the act college readiness benchmarks across all core subjects the

00:37:27.920 signals that one in five students are equipped to succeed in introductory college courses at the

00:37:34.000 other end of the spectrum over 40 of graduates failed to meet a single subject benchmark and students

00:37:40.400 nationwide scored an average of 19.5 out of 36 on the act this year down 0.3 points from 2022

00:37:48.960 for a 32 year low the decline in math and reading scores among us 13 year olds largest drop since in

00:37:56.080 1973 reads and drop it's at a lower rate reading scores also declined by four points between 2020 and 2023

00:38:03.200 with math scores experiencing a more significant decrease of nine points during the same period

00:38:07.680 despite the impact of remote learning the decline in scores has been ongoing since 2012 so again this

00:38:13.200 is all stuff we've been seeing since the 2010s uh in line you can't blame the pandemic a gallup poll

00:38:18.480 conducted in 2022 indicates that 55 of americans expressed dissatisfaction with the quality of k-12

00:38:24.480 education marking the highest level of dissatisfaction since 2000 now as this gets worse something

00:38:30.880 we're seeing because the urban monoculture needs this system to stay operational it cannot allow

00:38:35.680 it to shut down because again it's not having kids and again this is not historic as we've done

00:38:40.320 in our other video can conservatives outbreed the left this there was not a difference in fertility rates

00:38:46.160 between progressives and republicans pre-90s this is a completely modern phenomenon of progressives

00:38:52.640 only existing because they are converting other people's children but they've really doubled down on

00:38:57.120 it conservatives have double their fertility rates now now as this gets worse because it is an 0.87

00:39:01.680 existential issue for the survival of the urban monoculture they have to hide it and so here are

00:39:05.920 some attempts to hide it that we've been seeing oregon suspended the requirement for students to

00:39:09.680 demonstrate proficiency in english learning skills to graduate for classes of 2022 2023 and 2024

00:39:16.400 and the decision was made through senate bill 744 which ordered them just don't test them anymore

00:39:22.000 and then in 2015 california suspended the california high school exit examination requirement for

00:39:27.600 graduation governor jerry brown signed a bill sb 172 that eliminated this requirement which had been

00:39:34.800 in place for about a decade the suspension was initially set for 2015 to 2016 however the same

00:39:41.280 bill required school districts to retroactively grant diplomas to students who had failed the exam but

00:39:46.800 met all other graduation requirements this applied to the graduating classes as far back as 2000s

00:39:51.200 i think another thing that should be emphasized is a lot of the teachers even in the public school

00:39:58.560 system where there are a lot of adverse incentives and i'm not saying they're all great but many of

00:40:02.160 them are exceptional wonderful people who really do care about student outcomes they're put in impossible

00:40:07.360 positions especially because of the system one thing that i've seen some teachers commenting on

00:40:12.000 when discussing the various crises facing students now is they are getting kids let's say that they're

00:40:20.000 teaching seventh grade who are at a fourth grade level and they because they've just been passed up

00:40:24.080 they cannot do anything to bring them up to an eighth grade level in that year when they're starting

00:40:31.760 with something so bad so because kids just get passed through each class graduated the problem becomes

00:40:37.280 increasingly intractable for these teachers there's no nothing you can do no matter how good you are

00:40:43.760 as a teacher if you're receiving students who are so ill prepared who've been already so ill

00:40:48.880 treated by this system there's really nothing you can do and they were also talking about

00:40:54.160 i think they called it sem so like social emotional learning or something but basically like exploding

00:41:00.240 which is basically just a cult yeah and that they they as young teachers who were very i would say

00:41:07.120 very progressive the people that i've seen talking about this they hate it because they know it doesn't

00:41:12.000 work and they see the effect that it has on students so i would say this is not even a

00:41:16.080 progressive teachers are insane issue this is like you say some mimetic cults have also taken over

00:41:23.760 even like subsets bureaucracy the school system right now is an incredible bureaucracy just a giant

00:41:29.200 bureaucracy yeah and this cult uh of of the the ultra left um which is like a sub-faction of the urban

00:41:35.760 monoculture it's like it's a vanguard um it has embedded itself most deeply and it works really well

00:41:43.040 within bureaucracy so even if 90 of teachers don't want to go along with this if you push back you

00:41:48.960 lose everything you lose your job you lose your pension you are basically unemployable in other

00:41:53.280 fields have you been doing this for a long time so there is no possibility for pushback by the

00:41:58.720 teachers who want to do what's right for the students and i think the only way to fix this is

00:42:02.960 to completely blow up the education system as it exists right now we we just need to shut down

00:42:08.240 public education and it's sel social emotional learning and they yeah they hate it yeah it's

00:42:13.680 very pervasive that we were doing with leading to one in ten kids trying to unalive themselves

00:42:20.000 every year we'd be like oh my god i don't care what the effects are this must be shut down

00:42:26.080 and i feel that way with school what would i do if i controlled things more broadly i would probably

00:42:31.360 move to a system to try to maintain as much of the existing teaching infrastructure as possible

00:42:35.520 where the schools that exist right now are made public spaces and then parents bid on being able

00:42:43.360 to send their kids to individual teachers yeah those teacher salaries are dependent on their demand

00:42:48.880 among parents yeah and that would allow if you're a far progressive you can send your kid to the ultra

00:42:53.920 progressive teacher if they've been showing themselves to be efficacious and all of the teachers have

00:42:58.160 ranked like how the average type of student that's coming into them and how much they're improving

00:43:03.040 those students and students ability to get the teacher they want depends on their grades you know

00:43:07.600 you there is a reward for good grades and we are not wasting good teachers on low efficacious and

00:43:12.320 students and some people are like once done students just fall behind and it's like we need to be

00:43:16.400 realistic that's already happening right the other study that always gets me is the peter grace study

00:43:20.480 on unschooling which was looking at what if we did literally nothing for kids and it showed that kids

00:43:25.360 who are unschooled like not homeschooled literally nothing we're getting into college at higher

00:43:29.040 rates than kids who are going to public school and graduating college at higher rates and had better

00:43:32.880 emotional health outcomes obviously as well i suppose i should go without saying but obviously

00:43:37.280 and then people are like what about the negative social effects of homeschooling and this has been

00:43:41.440 well studied and they don't exist this is a bad toupee problem that you're dealing with here 0.95

00:43:45.600 it is it is just like in the big meta studies that have looked at this you just don't see much

00:43:50.000 negative effects from homeschooling and people are waking up to that now that was always a

00:43:54.080 a con job that people pretend that but of course kids who are raised by adults are going to have much

00:43:58.960 better abilities to deal with the world than kids who are raised in this weird sort of lord

00:44:03.600 of the flies scenario we've contrived and it makes perfect sense when people are like i remember growing

00:44:08.960 up the homeschoolers were weird it's like actually reflect on the ways they were weird i remember

00:44:14.480 thinking that as a kid too but now as an adult when i remember the things that made them weird i was like

00:44:20.400 yeah they were weird because they were really polite and they didn't emotionally manipulate the

00:44:25.680 people around them yeah and they didn't get into histionics over everything i think a lot of it's

00:44:29.760 also that they don't like use the same cultural shibboleths that people use to judge them i just

00:44:35.040 heard ayla get criticized because on a podcast recently she was asked her favorite beetle and

00:44:41.360 she said the green ones with the black spots on them that's um classic homeschool and i think that's

00:44:50.160 oh so weird but no that's an honest and good answer and why do we all need to think exactly

00:44:56.240 like the same cultural references and know the same tv shows and do all this really dumb stuff 0.57

00:45:01.920 yeah i completely agree and i think that our system so just to the final pitch for the collins institute

00:45:39.120 of what i thought we were going to be able to put together and the thing that has exceeded my

00:45:43.200 expectations is that it's fun i wish i just had infinite time to dive into it honestly i just

00:45:51.200 i want to explore it i want to go through all the nodes and learn all the things but um we do not

00:45:56.880 like it will for my kids it makes me very feel very comfortable allowing them not to go to school i

00:46:01.680 should know what we do with our kids in public schools we give them a choice so we'll send our

00:46:05.280 kids to public school and if they're like i would rather be at home studying they can do that but if

00:46:09.600 they want to go to school they can go to school they still all of their education we're going to

00:46:13.760 assume is it's our responsibility i assume if they go to school it's because they want to experience

00:46:19.440 that but that's not where they're going to learn the stuff that gets them ahead in life

00:46:23.600 yeah where they're going to learn about the world yeah i just think people because it's being hid from
